Primary Schools
It is not uncommon to hear stories of parents wanting to move to a specific area or district, in hopes of sending their child to a primary school nearby. This could be because the school has a good reputation, a long history, or is affiliated to a popular secondary school.
There are a number of popular primary schools in Singapore that are always over-registered. When the number of registrants exceeds the school vacancies, balloting is conducted by the Ministry of Education. If you live in a registered address that is within 1km or 2km of the school, your child will be given priority admission during the balloting process. This increases your chance of securing a vacancy for your child at the school.
